in what way is it junk? Is it crashing/misbehaving, does it lack important
features, is the wifi connection unstable, or is something else bothering
you?

Yes, you are referring to "r92su".

Yes, the source is available from <https://github.com/chunkeey/rtl8192su>.
However this driver is for 3.10+ kernels. AFICT there are no ready
[plans for] backports of the driver for an older kernel version.
If you are interested in the state and future of r92su you can find some
information in this thread:
<http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-wireless/msg114213.html>
<http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-wireless/msg114215.html>
TL;DR: r92su is doomed too.

Oh, you can help with the rtl8192su-mac80211 driver rewrite. This would
certainly make a difference :-D. Anything other than that: no, not that I
know.
